About KGB "Motown is forever," says Gerald Foster, one of just a few Motown tribute bands working in metro Detroit. They're frequent favorites at the MGM Grand Detroit Casino and also heated things up at the recent Motown Winter Blast downtown. Multi-instrumentalist and bandleader Foster plays live keyboards. Glenn McFarland is the baritone, Keith Dotson and Bruce Sims tenors. The music is straight-up Motown with an electronic base. Dotson, McFarland and Sims produce three-part harmonies effortlessly and with a lot of love. You'll hear a healthy sampling of Motown hits and other pop songs. It's the show stopping Temps-n-Tops medley, though, that knocks 'em out every time. While not lifted directly from their originators, the men's dance moves are energetic and evocative of the era. Their matching suits, in vibrant colors (selected by Dotson), and Harris' sparkling coordinated costumes are also reminiscent of the originals. Don't be surprised when audience members get up and start dancing, too. Not familiar with Lathrup Village? We welcome you! LV is Metro Detroit's small town.
